Aaron Rodgers Trade Has NFL Twitter Debating Who Won Jets-Packers Blockbuster Deal

The New York Jets have finally completed a trade with the Green Bay Packers for star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, ending a lengthy standoff between the two teams on Monday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the teams swapped first-round picks in Thursday's NFL draft, with the Packers moving up from No. 15 to No. 13. The Jets also acquired a 2023 fifth-round pick in the deal but sent a substantial package to Green Bay that also includes a 2023 second-round pick and a 2024 conditional second-round pick that becomes a first-round selection if Rodgers plays in 65 percent of the offensive snaps this season.

Whatever the case may be, the NFL world is officially shaken up as Rodgers is on his way to New York. Only time will tell whether the deal was worth it for both the Jets and the Packers.
